A Houston teenager finds a gun and begins taking “selfies” when the guns goes off, killing him. The 19-year-old leaves behind two small children. Tonight on KHOU 11 News at 10, hear why his family says the culture of social media is to blame.

From a news stations FB page...yeah, social media's fault

Two young children at 19? I'm sure his baby momma's are devastated. Oh, wait...probably on welfare. That'll soothe some of the pain.

Geeze... are condoms that expensive?

It's the smart phone's fault. This death warrants mention in the "killed by one's own smartphone" thread.

 

[Fixxah]

Wait for the flash.

 

[Zappa]

He won't make that mistake again.

I wish we had a government funded organization who was responsible for educating folks about birth control....

As usual, "the gun went off"

 

[Bdh821]

My guns have never "accidentally went off"... Some person must have accidentally pulled the trigger.

My gun goes off accidentally all the time. Usually when I'm aiming slightly high and to the left of the center of the target.

At least it wasn't the gun's fault this time.

All these lucky folk, always finding guns. Wish I could find guns.

No, not at all.
However, the lack of condoms is very expensive to tax payers...

"Found" the gun, huh?

Agreed...what are the odds that the following statement is true.....

'The cousin told police they found the gun earlier Tuesday'

19, two kids and starting college. Must have worked real hard for years to have that much money. Jack.

"Police said Smith believed the gun was unloaded at the time" Famous last words

 

[cockpitbob]

...when the gun went off and struck him in southwest Houston

What part of the body is that?

 

[Salyeica]

"Found" the gun, huh?

Thinking the same thing. "Found" it in the bushes where his sh*tb*g friends left it the day before.

"Police said Smith believed the gun was unloaded at the time."

Ain't no such thing as an "unloaded" gun. That's like saying "don't worry, that is a friendly rattlesnake"!

You never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them. Period. End of story. That's all folks.
